Help average Americans? That's a job killer

Obama Wants 95 Percent Of Americans To Get Tax Cut. Unlike McCain's plan to balance the budget in a year, Obama actually has a wise and realistic plan to achieve his goal.

Right after Obama unveiled exactly how he would achieve the 95% goal, the Republicans tasked potential VP pick Pawlenty to attack Obama’s plan. The party response was that Obama’s plan to actually cut taxes would be a “job killer” that would stifle small and medium sized businesses.

OK, so let me get this straight – SAYING that you’re going to cut taxes equally for everyone, but actually increasing middle class taxes while making MASSIVE high-upper class tax cuts, screwing future generations with huge debt and poisoning the current domestic economy is supposed to be good, but legitimately reducing the tax burden on the lower and middle classes by cutting government waste is a bad thing?

Even if you put aside social and moral issues, I’d still have to be a strong advocate for a liberal Democratic approach to governance over a conservative Republican approach just on the issue of fiscal responsibility. You simply cannot trust Republicans with the checkbook and cannot expect any honesty when discussing economics with them. Unless, of course you like huge and wasteful government that has no long-range planning for the good of the country.
